Traka provides an efficient and effective access solution to help maximize campus security, while offering fast, regulated access to keys and equipment for those that need it.
Authorized staff, vendors, and first responders can access protected assets, such as facility keys, vehicles, devices, or weapons, while you maintain centralized control and visibility over all system and item activity. Traka solutions are designed and configured to meet your school's unique security and access requirements, with simple, third-party integrations for effortless administration.

Shared devices

Weapons & PPE
With many schools evaluating the potential for storing firearms in response to active threat scenarios, Traka provides solutions for safe, secure, and fast emergency access to critical equipment.
Traka brings the power of electronic access control to your emergency access points
Schools must strike a balance in providing emergency access to first responders, while maintaining strict control and visibility over keys which could otherwise put the school at risk. Traka helps bridge the gap in the use of offline lock boxes to manage emergency access, by providing immediate, regulated key access to local agencies with the security and convenience of your existing access control or security platform.
See how a Texas school district implemented Traka to help meet new school safety requirements
Starting in 2019, the Northwest Independent School District in Fort Worth embarked on a district-wide implementation of Traka key cabinets integrated with their existing access control platform, enabling local first responders to gain expedited entry into the facility during an active threat situation.
Electronic key cabinets
